World Cup-winning former Brazil coach Parreira discharged from the hospital after 3 months
Former Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, who led the team to victory in the 1994 World Cup, has been discharged from the hospital after a three-month stay. Parreira, 83, was admitted due to a serious lung infection during his ongoing cancer treatment. Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2023, Parreira will now continue his medical care at home, according to Hospital Samaritano Barra.
In addition to his role as Brazil's World Cup-winning coach, Parreira also guided the team during the 2006 World Cup, winning the 2004 Copa America and the 2005 Confederations Cup. He has also held coaching positions for Kuwait in 1982, the United Arab Emirates in 1990, Saudi Arabia in 1998, and South Africa in 2010.
